Given it just broke one of the masts, it was probably only a mild jolt.

Is there anything I can use coupled with a VPN to block device fingerprinting, like software I can use on my phone.

Short answer: no. Due to the volume of data transmitted in an ordinary HTTP request, each point in that data set contributes to your uniqueness. You can use fingerprinting test sites to identify them and make yourself less unique.

In reality, there is very little application of this technique. Major companies like Facebook and Google are using it, but if you’re not visiting their sites, it’s unlikely that it’s going to matter. Mike’s Used Appliances is not trying to fingerprint you.

You would probably get better answers by looking for reviews of their service. Seems Surf Internet is a regional ISP, so it’s unlikely there are many of their customers here.

The analysis is what’s new, seemingly.

You might want to use rsync rather than a GUI file browser. I don’t know if it’ll be faster, but it’ll be more reliable, especially if you want to stop and restart it, or just plain restart it if it fails for some reason.

Probably because it was sort of running Linux from the factory.

So you’re building your own images? I’m sure there’s a way to build, transfer, and run an image. But you might just set up a local registry. Or just throw them up on a free registry like GitHub.

Okay so not critical, just mildly inconvenient if lost.

I would just keep one copy in RAID, and for the most important stuff a second copy locally or in the cloud. Yes, RAID is not backup, but a disk failure is probably the most likely failure scenario. Corruption is the second most likely.

That’s not how statistics work. Meltdowns are not random events.

Does it support macros?

Even windows can do this now with winget. It’s not quite as mature as I’d like it, but it’s got nearly everything I want.

According to Google it only operates on device. If I didn’t trust Google with claims like that, I wouldn’t be using Android.

That’s fine. I’m just not going to enable it.

The beep is legal compliance, because some states require notification of call recording. Same reason you hear “this call may be recorded for quality assurance purposes”.

Again? Not like it really stopped.

Which space monitoring agencies are sure to do.

Or a house fire, or flood, or lightning strike, or theft. Or just plain fat fingering something and deleting it all.

If you really mean life-or-death critical, yeah, 3-2-1 is the starting point.

I think that counts as medical.

3-2-1?
